What will help you wake up and cheer up in the early morning? Right! A cup of strong and aromatic coffee. Many of our fellow citizens start their morning with this drink, and in some cases replace coffee with breakfast, although doctors tirelessly insist that coffee in the morning brings more harm to the body than good.
Vigor in our body is provided by the hormone cortisol, which is released in sufficient quantities in the morning, because the body cannot be fooled, and he himself knows when to wake up. In people trying to find vigor with the help of caffeine, the production of cortisol gradually decreases, as the brain realizes that the body has enough vigor even without hormones.
After a while, when the body stops receiving a portion of the long-awaited drink, people feel tired, overwhelmed, constantly wanting to sleep. To get a boost of vivacity and energy, we again go for a cup of coffee, and in the meantime, cortisol ceases to be produced at all.
Coffee consumed on an empty stomach strongly affects the functioning of the liver and pancreas; over time, heartburn, gastritis, and in some cases ulcers or pancreatitis may develop. If you cannot give up coffee in the morning, then it is better to use it with milk, this has a gentle effect on the digestive system.
A person who goes to a gastroenterologist with complaints of epigastric pain undergoes a lot of examinations, passes a bunch of tests, and as a result receives a strict ban on coffee. And here's the paradox: you can't drink coffee, and cortisol is no longer produced, where can you get energy from? But that's not all, a lack of cortisol in the body negatively affects the functioning of the immune system, frequent colds appear, vitamin deficiency develops, and a person's appearance worsens.
Experts have proven that the best time to drink coffee is from 2 to 5 pm, when the production of cortisol decreases, and there is already food in the stomach.
